We want to make sure that each adoption is a positive and successful experience — for both the dog and the adoptive family. When someone adopts a dog that isn’t suitable for their family or their lifestyle, the chances of bonding with the dog, of keeping the dog, and of caring responsibly for the dog are low. This will usually end with the dog either being returned to the OHS, or worse yet, being passed from home to home to eventually be abandoned. In the process, the adoptive family has been emotionally scarred, someone has possibly been bitten, and the dog itself feels lost and confused., Adopt, volunteer and get involved! You can help Ottawa's cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets who need you most.
